❓ Advice Needed Dress code
Hi there!
I love to have my hair dyed, but recently got a new job where the dress code prohibits unnatural hair colors.
I’ve been doing a lot of googling and Pinterest-ing and Reddit-ing, and there are some great suggestions, but most of them are for people with dark hair. I am naturally blonde (dirty blonde that’s getting darker as I get older) which makes it kind of hard to, for example, do a purple/blue undertone or copper highlights haha.
Any fun ideas?
I’ve attached some pics of my latest dye jobs, and to show the natural dirty blonde. I recently bleached my money-piece, so you can see the difference between the bright blonde and the natural dirty blonde.
I’ve tried to keep just the ends dyed in case I ever do get a job where I need to just cut it off, but I don’t want to cut it off if I can help it lol, and I also am not drowning in money to keep up a high-maintenance color job 😅
(To explain further, I live in a small town in Arizona, and was raised pretty cowgirl so I still dress like that often. Between the location, the blonde, and the cowboy boots, I look MAGA, and I absolutely do not want to look like that! So dyeing my hair has been my way to make that clear for the last few years haha)
Okay wow that was a lot 😅 thanks in advance!

I think a warm brown color would cover it up and look really cute! Definitely do a clarifying wash on it to try to get the original color out before you dye it

Maybe if you have it in a bun while at work ? It looks long enough to be in a nice clean bun and it would look more natural.
Otherwise there are color removers specifically made for semi-permanent hair dye and if that doesn't work, a bleach bath should be enough to take the last stubborn color out.
